aother TGIF
TGIF! And what better way to celebrate that chilling at your favourite night spot with the best of friends. Unfortunately, the usual buds weren't able to make it. But still, the party had to go on... with En Shao and myself, haha. Chilled at HollandV's Wala Wala. Soccer, live bands, music, front row seats, jugs of beer... whoo, it was a long time since we had such a good time. Turning eighteen has never been better haha! However the cost and drinks were enough to knock us out quickly and we had to retire by midnight. Decided to abandon our Halloween plans on Saturday due to the large hole in our wallets now but you bet we'll return. Next place, the subzero room in Eskibar!
And thank goodness for the Nightriders and the 'gahment's' new ban of smoking in these places. It really makes things alot more convenient. :)

start of school
School has been great since it started two weeks ago. Maybe it was the office attachment that made me really appreciate school more now, or that my bike gets me to school and home much quicker than before, or just the new modules that interest me. Whatever they may be, I'm enjoying every moment of school. But more importantly, I am thankful for the nice new teachers and friend's I've had this new semester, in class and out. Projects and common tests were a disaster last year. Hence I'm hoping to start the new sem right this time. Projects have taken a roll and my groupmates are looking geared up on them. That sure lessens my stress load on project work this sem. Everyone in class seem really competitive and hardworking, perhaps that will motivate me to do so too. :D
In any case, Paul and I have been hitting the gym and pool everyday for the past two weeks. Trying hard to burn off all the fats put in from the seven weeks of attachment. Boy, is it difficult! But I guess I'm getting quite used to it and having fun, nonetheless feeling much more energetic for taekwondo trainings and fitter than before! :)

old time friends
Meeting up with old time friends is something I always treasure and look forward to now that everyone is getting busy with each of our own activities and hardly have any time to just chill out and watch the world go by. I was thankful I could spend the weekend doing just that, and yet putting aside time for the family too.
Attended the family healing service at Novena Church on friday night. Though it was rather hot and stuffy, the service was indeed spiritually rejuvenating and reflective. Perfect for something I've been missing out for sometime. Saturday night was spent on dinner with the VIs, some of whom I've not met for months, no doubt was it a good time to catch up. Happy birthday to JJ and Shamsul! As though we were already not filled with food to our brim, Stephen, Joan and Jason decided on supper. Nicholas joined us with his bike, so we had a little bike exhibition down to our makan place with jason, joan and qi hui driving behind us, the bikers. What a fun time it was. ;P
The best part, we celebrated Enshao's birthday at Hooters on Sunday night. Soccer, food, hooter girls, though no drinks since some of us drove, but we had a great time.
Kevin's enjoying his holidays now that attachment is over. Probably searching for new places to try out his stunts on his new bike since he's got chased away by the police at his previous territory. hah! Austin finally laid hands on his xbox 360 and halo 3. ever since then, everything has been halo. Nicholas... well, riding his gal around to all the romantic places in Singapore. Enshao's getting fitter and machoer each day after all those serious canoeing training. And me... just trying to stay up with time.
Overall, everyone's doing well. (:

driving around
I never thought I would say this, but the post-attachment effects are beginning to hit me significantly. I find a day meaningless when there is no work to be done or accomplished. Somehow, someway, I would have to keep myself busy or occupied, if not the restlessness would just kick in.
In any case, I've been doing some driving and riding around since I've passed my driving test lately. Thank God for that, and congrats to Daniel Seow too! We both had the same test dates, and kept each other in prayers almost the whole time. Got a new bike too, the Piaggio mp3. Haha, its a three-wheeler and my parents were convinced of its added safety and stability features, so I had nothing to say. Had a couple of small accidents from both. Wacking the car into a pillar while parking and having the whole back badly smashed (ok, maybe thats not a small accident afterall), and skidding and falling off the bike on the wet slippery floor, both in the carparks. Sigh, its just this thing with car parks... Also, if you're riding a bike, you might wana be aware of and be cautious of the white/yellow painted markings on the roads (yellow box, arrows, dotted lines, etc). When it rains, these markings become extremely slippery and will cause us to lose control when at a high speed and/or banking angle. Got the infro from a forum and found it to be true myself after a few rides in wet weather.
The main roads can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. Especially with inconsiderate people who speed and get themselves into accidents which jam up the whole morning traffic causing everyone to be late for work. Or impatient taxi drivers who never fail to post a threat to motorcyclists. But generally I've encountered nice drivers too, who wave in return when you give way or just being courteous in their styles of road using, which surely makes a whole lot of difference to a pleasurable driving experience.

last week at the office
How fast it is that time flies. Before I could be settling down at the office, I am up again moving back to school for a new semester beginning two weeks time. Sheesh. Nonetheless the whole 6 weeks of internship has proved to be worthwhile. New experience and much valuable lessons were gained. More importantly I must thank everyone in the office for being so welcoming and patient towards me. Especially for all the awesome makan places at Katong that I've been brought to, whoo, I'll be back mann!
